You're going to love this sweater! Bill Cosby tweets about sweaters.

This is one of his favorite sweaters.

Everyone always asks about this sweater!

He's never met anyone who didn't like this one!

Check him out in this sweater!

How about this sweater?

A Bill Cosby sweater line, you say?

Previous sweater goodness here and here.

Of course, if Cosby sweaters aren't your thing, there's always Gordon Gartrell.

I nominate Bill Cosby as the comedian I would be most suprised at discovering they had a non-family friendly RAW style standup act.

The RAW sweater would of course be made of red leather. He'd be saying the filthiest stuff ever. It'd be great.

Some of these sweaters have no redeeming quality other than to keep you warm.

Oh, man, look at Phylicia Rashad's outfits. Oh, the mid 1980's when we had shoulder pads like MING THE FUCKING MERCILESS, I TELL YOU.

When I read the "People always ask me about this one" the first thing that came to my mind was "Please let it be the one with the dudes running track on it"

Of all the sweaters he ever wore, that one always stuck in my head the most.

This is real? Bill Cosby is actually sitting down in front of the computer, loading DVDs of his old show, and tweeting screencaps of his favorite sweaters?

I...can't tell if this is irony or not.

Apparently he used to work blue. My mom went to see him perform when she was an innocent, sheltered college student in the early 70s. She knew him from "I Spy" and was pretty excited to see him, but ended up being shocked and embarrassed.

Knowing my mom he probably just talked about sex in mixed company and cursed a bit, it's hard to say. Soon after she'd marry my dad and spend the next several years of her life rolling her eyes and trying to ignore his constant Richard Pryor and George Carlin records, so Cosby must have really broken character to make such a lasting impression on her.

It's a verified profile, and that's usually an indication that it's the genuine article. Then again, I can't see Cosby being on Twitter at all, let alone in the volume his feed suggests.

Maybe it's just Cosby #57: Social Networking Cosby. He tweets on the twitters, y'see.

I hate that I don't understand Twitter.

Surprise That was the 12:15 show.

I could probably recite it for you word-for-word still to this day.

Why wouldn't Cosby be on the twitters? Because he's so busy with all his other projects?

Gordon Gartrell, yes!

You do not want to know how much those sweaters cost.

(Hint: A lot more than a Gordon Gartrell.)

Totally. He should be using Facebook, like everyone else.
